Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Audi A6
- A high-tech dashboard setup
- Looks dominating on the road

- The overall package is very much feature-loaded, with all the creature comforts covered.
- Accommodates up to 7 passengers comfortably, with ample legroom and headroom across all rows.
- Offers 540 litres of boot space even with all three rows up, suitable for long family trips.

Audi A6
- Only front-wheel drive
- Misses out on flagship features
- Rear seat experience is average
Kia Carnival
- Priced at Rs 63.91 lakh (ex-showroom), it may be out of reach for many potential buyers.
- Available only in the fully-loaded Limousine Plus variant, and only in 2 colour options, White and Black, restricting choices for customisation.
